What is with people and the need to lean on their car horns?  No one gets out of their car and politely knocks on a person’s door these days.  No, they have to sit out in their cars and honk the horn until whoever it is they are looking for comes outside. 

     Then there are the idiots who honk their car horns to make noise and irritate people for no reason other than the idiots are obnoxious. 

     On our street, we have three people who work nights (and no I’m not including me in that), there’s another person, an invalid, who is stuck in a bed all the time.  Then we have my next-door neighbor who I know works two jobs and sleeps only a few hours at a time.  Do the horn honkers consider that they might wake someone up?  Nope.

     Whatever happened to consideration for others?  Long gone I’m sorry to say, tossed away with that other all-important thing, called common sense.  It’s no wonder people’s tempers are shorter fused these days. 

     Is it because personal interaction is outdated?  Has the electronic age brought us to this?  What do you think?
